About Sri Ram

Sri Ram - the lifeline of Hindus and most popular of all deities was the seventh incarnation of Vishnu. A great warrior, ideal king & ideal son's purpose was to show how people should act in life. To set an inspiration among all, Sri Ram took avatar with limitations as a human. Ram has to undergo pain, fear and desperation to set an example of how patienly we can overcome it following dharma. Still in India, Sri Ram is recited from greetings to death rituals of a person. Sri Ram is religiously followed all over in Hinduism.

The Story of Sri Ram

Sri Ram, An Avatar of Vishnu was born in Treta Yug in Ayodhya province as the son of Dashrath & Kaushalya. Dashrath has three queen consorts - Kaushalya, Sumitra & Kaikeyi & four child - Ram, Laxman, Bharat & Shatrughan. After there marriage, Dashrath thought to crown Ram but Kaikeyi reminded Dashrath of two boons and asked him to crown his son Bharat & banish Ram on exile. The story of Ram is about the exile with his consort Sita & Laxman. Ravana - the demon king abducted Sita, Ram met Hanuman & formed an army to conquer Ravana & got back his wife Sita. They all returned to Ayodhya & Ram become the righteous King. Still today the Ram's empire (Ram Rajya) is hailed and Ram has become an eternal lifeline for all the race. The Story of Ram is mainly mentioned in great epics - Ramayana & Ramcharitmanas. The legend of Sri Ram is deeply influential and popular in the societies of the Indian subcontinent and across South East Asia.

Hinduism - A way of life

Hinduism is a dominant & the oldest religion of faith in South Asia, mostly India and Nepal. More than religion, it is a way of living. Many philosophies, many traditions, many Gods, many languages, numerous casts, creeds but Unity in Diversity - Vasudev Kutumbakam. Hinduism is a practice & main religion is referred as 'Sanatana Dharma' - The Eternal Law of Righteousness. This law suggests finding the truth within, self-realization & seeking wisdom. Hinduism is sometimes called "Framework of Spirituality", "Mother of all religions" as we can see all other religions are virtually influenced.

As per the Hindu philosophy, universe undergoes regular creation and destruction. Hence Space & Time are of cyclic nature. Everything is constantly changing and every creation will be destroyed. Birth of Universe is Brahma, followed by Life as Vishnu and Death as Shiva. Om (ॐ) is the first sound & origin of all creation.

Quran Surah 28 - Al-Qasas (The Narrative)

Ayat 3 - We narrate to you from the history of Moses
and Pharaoh in all verity, for those who believe.

Ayat 4 - The Pharaoh had become high and mighty in
the land, and divided the people into different classes, and impoverished one class, slaying its males and sparing its women,
for he was indeed a tyrant.

Ayat 5 - We wished to favour those who were weak in
the land and make them leaders and heirs,

Ayat 6 - And establish them in the country; and to
make the Pharaoh, Haman and their hordes beware of what they feared from them.

Ayat 7 - So We conveyed to the mother of Moses:
"Suckle him. If you are afraid for him, cast him in the river without any fear or regret, for We shall restore him to you, and
make him an apostle."

Ayat 8 - Then he was picked up by the family of
Pharaoh (unaware) that he would become their enemy and a cause for regret. Surely the Pharaoh, Haman and their hordes were
habitual sinners.

Ayat 9 - The Pharaoh´s wife said: "He will be a
comfort to me and to you. Do not kill him. He may well be of some advantage to us, or we may adopt him as a son." They were
not aware (of what the future held in store).

Ayat 10 - The mother of Moses was perturbed in the
morning. Had We not strengthened her heart to remain a believer she had almost given him away.

Ayat 11 - She told his sister: "Follow him." So she
kept an eye on him from a distance, unbeknown to them.

Ayat 12 - We made (Moses) refuse a wet nurse. So his
sister said: "Should I tell you of a household that could bring him up for you and take care of him?"

Ayat 13 - Thus We restored him to his mother that she
may be tranquil and not grieve, and know that the promise of God is true, though most men do not know.

Ayat 14 - When he had grown up to full maturity, We
gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We recompense the doers of good.

Ayat 15 - He came to the city when the people were in
a care-free mood, and saw two men quarrelling, one belonging to his community, the other to his enemies. The man who belonged
to his community appealed for help against the one who belonged to the enemies. Moses struck him a blow with his fist and
finished him off. "This is of Satan´s doing," he said. "He is certainly an enemy and a corrupter."

Ayat 17 - (Moses) said: "O Lord, as You have been
gracious to me I will never aid the guilty."

Ayat 18 - In the morning he came to the city, fearful
and hesitant. Just then he who had asked him for help the day before called out for help (again). "You are indeed a meddlesome
fellow," Moses said to him.

Ayat 19 - Then as he was about to lay hands on the
one who was their common enemy, he cried out: "O Moses, do you want to kill me as you killed that person yesterday? You only
want to be a tyrant in the land and no peacemaker."

Ayat 20 - There came a man running from the other
part of the city. "O Moses," he said, "the chiefs are deliberating to kill you. Go away from the city. I wish you well."

Ayat 21 - So he left the city, fearful and hesitant,
(and) prayed: "O Lord, deliver me from these wicked people."

Ayat 22 - Then as he turned his face to Midian, he
said: "Maybe my Lord will show me the right way."

Ayat 23 - And when he came to the waters of Midian he
found a crowd of people watering (their flocks), and saw two maidens holding back (their cattle). He asked: "What is the
trouble with you?" They said: "We cannot water our flock till the shepherds have driven away theirs, and our father is a very
old man."

Ayat 24 - So he watered (their flock), and moved into
the shade and prayed: "My Lord, I have need of whatever good you send me."

Ayat 25 - Then one of the (maidens) came to him
walking bashfully, (and) said: "My father invites you that he may repay you for having watered our flock." So, when (Moses)
came to him and told him his story, he said: "Have no fear. You have escaped from the wicked people."

Ayat 26 - Said one of the maidens: "O father, employ
him. Surely the best (man) to employ is one who is strong and honest."

Ayat 27 - He said: "I would like to marry one of
these two daughters of mine to you if you agree to work for me on hire for eight years. And if you stay on for ten, it is up to
you. I do not wish to impose any hardship on you. God willing you will find me a man of honour."

Ayat 28 - (Moses) said: "This is (agreed) between
you and me. Whichever term I fulfil, no injustice will be done to me. God is witness to our agreement."

Ayat 29 - When Moses had fulfilled the term and was
journeying with his family, he noticed a fire on the side of the mountain. "Wait here," he said to his family; "I have seen
a fire. I may haply bring some news from there, or an ember that you may warm yourselves."

Ayat 30 - When he drew near, a voice called out to
him from the tree on the blessed spot on the right side of the valley: "O Moses, I am verily God, the Lord of all the worlds.

Ayat 31 - Throw down your staff." When he saw it
wriggling like a serpent, he turned about and fled without turning. "O Moses, approach," (said the Voice), "and have no
fear. You will be safe.

Ayat 32 - Put your hand inside your shirt. It will
come out white without a tarnish of blame; and do not be perturbed or afraid. These are two proofs from your Lord for the
Pharaoh and his nobles. They are certainly a rebellious people."

Ayat 33 - He said: "O Lord, I have killed a man of
theirs, and fear they would kill me.

Ayat 34 - So send my brother Aaron with me as helper
for he is more fluent than I with words, that he should affirm me, for I fear that they would call me a liar."

Ayat 35 - (And) God said: "We shall strengthen your
arm with your brother, and give you power with Our signs and give you authority, so that they will not be able to harm you.
Both of you and your followers will be victorious."

Ayat 36 - But when Moses came to them with Our clear
signs they said: "This is nothing but magic he has contrived, for we have not heard of this from our fathers of old."

Ayat 37 - But Moses said: "My Lord knows well who
has come with guidance from Him, and for whom is the guerdon of Paradise. But surely the wicked will not prosper."

Ayat 38 - The Pharaoh said: "O nobles, I am not
aware of any other lord of yours but myself. So, O Haman, fire some clay (bricks) to build a tower for me that I may mount up
(and see) the God of Moses; for I think he is a liar."

Ayat 39 - He and his soldiers had become arrogant in
the land for no reason, and did not think that they have to come back to Us in the end.

Ayat 40 - So We seized him and his hordes and threw
them into the sea. Behold then how was the end of the wicked!

Ayat 41 - We made them the leaders of those who call
to Hell; and on the Day of Judgement they will not be helped.

Ayat 42 - A curse lies upon them in this world, and
on the Day of Resurrection they will be despised.

Ayat 43 - After We had destroyed the earlier
generations We gave Moses the Book as evidence for mankind, and a guidance and grace, so that they may remember.

Ayat 44 - You were not there on the western side (of
Mount Sinai) when We gave the commandments to Moses, nor were you witness (to the event).

Ayat 45 - We raised (many more) generations and
prolonged their lives. You did not live with the people of Midian, nor recited to them Our revelations; but We kept on sending
messengers.

Ayat 46 - You were not present on the side of Mount
Sinai when We called. And all this (knowledge that you are given) is by the grace of your Lord so that you may warn a people to
whom no admonisher had come before you, that they may take heed;

Ayat 47 - And in case disaster comes upon them for
what they have done themselves, they should say: "O Lord, why did You not send an apostle to us that we should have followed
Your commands, and been with those who are believers;"

Ayat 48 - But when the truth came to them from Us,
they said: "Why is he not given the like of what was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve before in what was given to
Moses? They said: "Both are imposters one like the other," and added: "We do not believe in either."

Ayat 49 - Say: "Then bring a Book from God which
gives better guidance than these so that I may follow it, if you speak the truth."

Ayat 50 - Then, if they cannot give you an answer,
know that they are only following their lusts. And who can be farther astray than he who follows his lust without any guidance
from God? And certainly God does not guide an unjust people.

Ayat 51 - We have been sending word to them that they
may take a warning.

Ayat 52 - Those to whom We gave the Book before this
do believe in it;

Ayat 53 - And when it is read out to them, say: "We
believe in it. It´s the truth from our Lord. We had committed ourselves before it came."

Ayat 54 - These will be given their recompense twice,
for they persevered and repelled evil with good, and spent of what We had given them.

Ayat 55 - When they hear idle talk they turn aside
and say: "To us our actions, to you yours. Peace on you; we do not look for the ignorant."

Ayat 56 - You cannot guide any one you like: God
guides whosoever He please. He knows best who will come to guidance.

Ayat 57 - They say: "If we followed your guidance we
would be driven from the land by force." Have We not set up a sanctuary for them, to which is brought a wealth of everything
as provision from Us? But most of them do not understand.

Ayat 58 - How many habitations that had come to boast
of their resources have We destroyed? These their dwellings were never inhabited except rarely after them; and they came back
to Us.

Ayat 59 - But your Lord does not destroy habitations
without having sent an apostle to their metropolis to read out Our commandments to them. We would never have destroyed cities
if their inhabitants were not given to wickedness.

Ayat 60 - Whatsoever has been given you is the stuff
this life is made of, and only its embellishment. What is with your Lord is better and abiding. Will you not understand?

Ayat 61 - Can one who was given a better promise,
which he will find come true, be like him who was given a little enjoyment of this life, but who will afterwards be brought (to
judgement) on the Day of Resurrection?

Ayat 62 - That day God will call them and ask:
"Where are they you imagined were My compeers?"

Ayat 63 - Those against whom the sentence is
justified will say: "O Lord, these are those we had led astray as we had ourselves gone astray. We clear ourselves before You:
They never worshipped us."

Ayat 64 - (The sinners) will be told: "Invoke your
partners." They will call on them, but they will not answer; and they will see the torment (and wish) if only they had come to
guidance.

Ayat 65 - (God) will ask them on that day: "What
answer did you give the apostles?"

Ayat 66 - Then all news will be blacked out for them,
and they will not even ask one another.

Ayat 67 - But he who repents and believes and does
good things may well be among the successful.

Ayat 68 - Your Lord creates what He wills and
chooses. The good is not for them to choose. Too holy and high is God for what they associate with Him.

Ayat 69 - Your Lord well knows what they hide in
their breasts and what they disclose.

Ayat 70 - He is God. There is no god but He. His
alone is praise first and last, and His the judgement, and to Him will you be brought back in the end.

Ayat 71 - Say: "Just think, if God were to cover you
up with night for ever until the Day of Doom, what other god apart from God will give you light? Why do you not pay heed?"

Ayat 72 - Say: "Just think. If God were to make the
day perpetual till the Day of Resurrection, what other god but God would bring you night for rest? Why do you not reflect?

Ayat 73 - Yet in His benevolence He made you night
and day that you may rest and seek His bounty during them, and haply maybe grateful."

Ayat 74 - Upon a day He will call them and ask:
"Where are they you imagined were My compeers?"

Ayat 75 - And We shall single out one witness from
each community and say: "Bring your proof." Then will they know that God´s is the judgement, and what they contrived will
avail them not in the least.

Ayat 76 - Verily Qarun was of Moses´ people, but he
began to oppress them. We had given him treasures, so many that a team of wrestlers could hardly lift their keys. His people
said to him: "Do not be exultant. God does not like those who exult.

Ayat 77 - So seek the abode of the Hereafter through
what God has given you, and do not forget your part in this world. Do good to others as God has done good to you, and do not
try to spread corruption in the land. Surely God does not like corrupters."

Ayat 78 - He said: "This has come to me through my
own acumen." Did he not know that God had destroyed many generations before him who possessed far more acumen than he, and
more wealth? The sinners will not be asked about their sins.

Ayat 79 - Then he came before his people in all pomp;
and those enamoured of this world, said: "Ah would that we had what Qarun has been given! He indeed possesses great good
fortune."

Ayat 80 - But those who knew better, said: "Alack-
a-day! God´s guerdon is better for those who believe and do the right. Only those who persevere will receive it."

Ayat 81 - So We opened up the earth and sunk him and
his mansion. There was not a body that could help him against (the will) of God, nor was he able to save himself.

Ayat 82 - Those who were envious of his position only
yesterday said on the morrow: "Indeed God increases the fortunes of those of His creatures as He will, and decreases. Had God
not been gracious to us He could have (opened up) the earth and made it swallow us. Surely the infidels will not succeed."

Ayat 83 - We shall give the mansion of the Hereafter
to those who do not want to be haughty in the land and spread corruption. The future belongs to those who take heed for
themselves and follow the straight path.

Ayat 84 - Whoever does good will receive better than
what he has done; and whoever does ill shall be requited but to the extent of what he does.

Ayat 85 - He who has assigned (the propagation) of
the Qur´an to you will bring you back to the destination. Say: "My Lord knows who has come to guidance, and who is clearly in
error."

Ayat 86 - You did not expect that the Book would be
given to you except by the favour of your Lord. So do not be the helper of unbelievers,

Ayat 87 - Nor should you let them turn you away from
the commandments of God once they have been delivered to you; and call them to your Lord, and do not be an idolater,

Ayat 88 - And do not call on any other god apart from
God. There is no god but He. All things will perish save His magnificence. His is the judgement, and to Him will you be brought
back in the end.
